Since April 2025, a fresh breeze has been blowing through Costa Rica’s air conditioning industry. Based in Playa del Coco, Guana Safe Air has set itself the mission of combining performance, health, and environmental responsibility through an innovative approach and impeccable customer service.
Regular maintenance of an indoor air conditioning system should never be taken lightly. Not only does it ensure optimal performance, but it also directly contributes to the occupants’ health, reduces energy costs, and extends the system’s lifespan.
At the helm of this new venture: two expats and entrepreneurs, Thibault Barthe and Morgan Leclerc, united by a shared passion for high-quality work and the Costa Rican way of life.
“We immediately fell in love with the country—and with the opportunity to do business differently,” says Morgan, a former industrial maintenance technician. “Here, you can build a human-scale project and make a real impact.”
Two Complementary Profiles, One Shared Vision
Introduced by a mutual friend, Thibault and Morgan quickly discovered their shared values: rigor, respect, and customer attentiveness. They soon combined their skills to develop a distinctive service in the Guanacaste region.
“Customer service is our top priority. We treat every job as if it were our own home—and our clients can feel the difference,” Morgan affirms.
At Guana Safe Air, every service call is carried out with care: eco-friendly products, respect for the property, personalized follow-up, and a 6-month warranty on all installations.
“The goal is to build long-term trust. We create customized maintenance plans for each client, especially in homes with children or sensitive individuals,” adds Thibault.
Cleaner Air, Better Performance
Thibault and Morgan’s company offers deep cleaning of air conditioners using 130°C steam technology with high pressure, ensuring 99% sterilization. The results: purified air, a significant reduction in allergens, energy savings, and longer-lasting equipment.
Proper AC maintenance improves indoor air quality. Over time, air conditioner filters and ducts accumulate dust, allergens, mold, and harmful particles. Without regular cleaning, these pollutants are redistributed throughout the indoor environment, potentially triggering allergies, respiratory irritation, and a stale-air feeling.


“Many providers offer superficial cleanings that fail to eliminate bacteria or legionella,” explains Thibault, who trained as an electrical technician. “We wanted to create a complete, professional, and health-conscious solution.”
In addition to its advanced cleaning services, Guana Safe Air handles full maintenance for air conditioning systems—leak detection, gas refills, parts replacement, and complete installations tailored to the needs of individuals, businesses, hotels, schools, and healthcare centers.
A Local Reference in the Making
Thanks to their professional approach and genuine desire to become part of the community, Thibault and Morgan aspire to become a local benchmark in the field.
“We want to prove that it’s possible to do business in Costa Rica while respecting local rules, building real connections, and offering top-tier service.”
Two Committed Expats Here to Serve You Better
They also offer valuable advice to anyone thinking of starting a business in Costa Rica: Take the time to truly understand the country. Adapt to its rhythms. Learn Spanish. Be patient. And above all, have the courage to take the leap—while keeping your feet firmly on the ground.
With Guana Safe Air, Thibault Barthe and Morgan Leclerc aren’t just cleaning air conditioners. They’re purifying living spaces, redefining industry standards, and bridging cultures through their commitment to service and professionalism.
By betting on transparency, active listening, and cutting-edge technology, they’re bringing a breath of fresh air to Costa Rica’s air conditioning industry.
Their journey goes far beyond a business project: it’s a living example that with passion, dedication, and respect, one can create, innovate, and truly integrate into a host country.
And finally, a well-maintained AC unit ensures better everyday comfort: quieter operation, stable temperature, and a significant boost in well-being—at home or at work.

GOOGLE REVIEW
“Guana Safe Air steam cleaned all our AC systems in a single visit, and we’re extremely pleased with the results. The technicians were competent and professional from start to finish. They moved furniture and items as needed to work, then put everything back exactly as it was. The cleaning of the outdoor units was just as effective. Steam cleaning is far more efficient than pressure washing. Well done, gentlemen! I’ll definitely call on you again.”

In summary, filters should be cleaned or replaced regularly. Depending on usage, a complete professional maintenance check should be done at least every six months. This simple preventive measure can make a world of difference to your system’s lifespan, your comfort, your health—and your expenses.
Guana Safe Air is more than a brand. It’s a promise: cleaner air, greater comfort, and a relationship of long-term trust.
